    Reprinted from the ' Transactions of the Pathological Society of London,* 1891. Necrosed pulmonary tissue and exudation becoming tubercular. [Card specimen.) By Sheridan Del^pine. mHE section exhibited was obtained from the lower part of the J- upper lobe of the left lung of a drunkard. It shows side by side the nearly healthy tissue composing the greater part of that lobe and the infarcted necrosed portion which has become invaded by the bacillus tuberculosis. The block was a large one, measuring about two inches by one, and was sharply denned from the sur- rounding tissues, and distinctly visible through the pleura It gave one the impression that there must have been in that region some hemorrhage, and that the blood had slowly degenerated, the surrounding tissue providing a fibrous capsule for it The in- durated patch is composed of granulo-fatty ddbris and fibrinous material filling up the alveoli in many of the vessels. Many of the interlobular septa and alveolar walls are thickened, but there are no ZZ T anWUePneUm°niCPr°CeSStavi^existedPiously m that region The necrosed intra-alveolar products and alveolar walls contain large numbers of bacilli of tuberculosis and othe micro-oi?anisms. The surrounding parts, i.e. those neither on olidated nor necrosed, do not contain any bacillus. The case is in November 18th, 1890.
